Here is a list of some passengers,most are famous wealthy ones because they were more well known back then,but a couple are 2nd class and one 3rd class.

Frank Goldsmith and his family:3rd class.Father died. Billy Carter,his sister,and parents:1st class.All survived. Thomas Andrews:1st class.Died.

Douglas Spedden and his parents:All survived.Douglas died 2 years later in a car crash.
There were 20 lifeboats.Lifeboats 1 and 2 were emergency boats,holding 40 passengers.Lifeboat 1,carrying Lady Duff Gordon and Sir Cosmo,had only 12 survivors on board.7 crew and 5 passengers including Cosmo and Gordon.Only fifteen men in 2nd class survived.No child in 2nd class died.One child in 1st class had not survived.Captain Smith,Chief Officer Wilde,1st Officer Murdoch,and 6th Officer Moody hadn't survived.The 2nd officer,3rd officer,4th officer,and 5th officer had gotten into boats or collapsibles.Decks D and E were the only decks to hold all three classes.However,none mixed.

| In addition to the passenger list,there was 2nd class passenger Ruth Becker.She was traveling with here siblings and mother from I think India to get her brother away from the heat that was sickening him.All survived,but Ruth Becker's boat,Lifeboat 13,was nearly crushed by another boat being lowered.Luckily,the boat came out from under the boat just in time to be inches away from the lifeboat. |

Coolxdude fine here's what happened: Ida Straus and Isidor Straus were the current owners' of Macy's,not the founders.Ida Straus had been given a chance to go into Lifeboat #8,but refused to go without Isidor.Both had died later that night. |

| Nope,here comes another one.:3.It is more likely that the captain had jumped over board when a wave of water surged up the boat deck.He then helped encourage men onto collapsible B. |

"the captain must go down with his ship" Captains back then were honorable idiots. |

Mhm,we now have that smart italian captain. Fact:Lifeboat one would probably have gone back to rescuse those in the water.It only had 12 people on it,and 40 was its limit.Sadly,2 of those 12 caused 38 more unlucky souls to die.Lady Duff Gordon and Sir Cosmo had tried to convince the crew on board Lifeboat 1 to not go back.The crew gave in when Sir Cosmo said he would give all the crew 5 euros that were in the boat.They did not go back. Bonus:Lifeboat 14 went back into the crowd of the dead with Fifth officer lowe in charge.Although I do not know exactly how many survived in the water,it must have been somewhere 1-6 people,out of about 700 people left in the water.(800 had been below deck I think) |
